Okay ;D ;D ;D Here is my version of "Drop The Hammer" This is my 71 Sprint 440. One handed driving, all in the name of a good shot ! Hope you enjoy ;D Dave. Here is another one. This was the first pass. I have to check out the secondary spring. Brandt pointed out that it doesn't appear to shift out. After watching, I would have to agree. I also had a boggy shaft come out on me  Not sure if i was dragging it at the time i shot the video  The boyz found my springs right where i was turning in the second video. Gotta love your Rupp ;D Well put her back together and do it again  |

This was in the farmers field across the street form magnum Al's house. We did take about a 2 1/2 hour trail ride. Now that was ROUGH ! The suspension is new but, that doesn't mean a smooth ride  My sled will either make me old, or keep me young  I get quite the work out riding that animal ;D |

Dave: Love the videos - Make sure you use loctite on those suspension bolts or they will keep coming loose on you and wreck your tunnel in the process. Your sled seems to run great, I agree that it doesn't sound like you are shifting out all the way. Make sure the secondary shaft is lubed - they get dry and stick. Wig

Thanks Wig,
I know that when i rebuilt the sled it was free and all clean. But, I was unsure about which hole to put the spring in and i wound it to the tightest setting. I will pull it out and reset it to a lower setting. I wont be riding until next weekend. I will have to let you know how i make out then. Throwing a party on Sunday. My daughter April, turns 20 ;D
Wow ! where the hell did 20 years go ! Dave.
